Papercraft Inspirations round up!

Seems I forgot to mention a few paper designs and card making ideas of mine that were released this Autumn/Winter with Papercraft Inspirations magazine! As they're all still available to download for free I thought I'd post a link to a few so you don't miss out...

'Vintage Treasures' is a 'granny's attic' type set with pretty lace, buttons and vintage style fabric patterns. Great for all round card makes of any theme, so if you have birthdays coming up or thank you cards to make, these would be great!

Also with Issue 129 was a free folded flower card kit cover gift I designed, all you need to make 10 pretty flower embellishments and 5 cards – die-cut patterned papers, luxury adhesive pearls and designer card blanks. Back copies of the mag are available with this free gift.

Retro style 'Fifties Kitchen' printables were with Issue 130 and are still available to download here. These are great for those chefs and baking-loving peeps among us (like my sister at 'Lizzie's Tasty Journey' blog)! 

Snow Style!

Quick Cards magazine Issue 131 had a snowflake die tool that I designed free with the mag, and some really pretty Christmas card ideas in the mag too using their matching digi papers. Get the Christmas tunes on, get the sewing machine out and get glittering...!

Kaisercraft Collections - Flora Delight

Another of my scrapbooking and card making collections which has been released by Kaisercraft is 'Flora Delight', full of rich antique style influenced summertime florals, damasks and frames in a contemporary colour palette! I had so much fun creating this set, I hope you like them. Again, Kaisercraft's crafters have created some beautiful cards from this set, and their blog is a great place for project ideas. They have also come up with some lovely decorated drawers, or jewellery units, and box frames for an unusual, fun and pretty way of displaying your wedding photos! You must check out their blog for ideas.

Kaisercraft Collections - Elegance

Last year I worked on some collections for the scrapbooking company Kaisercraft in Australia and they have all now been released. I was very excited to receive a pack in the post full of samples, which looked so good! I'm so pleased with how they turned out, and today I give you a sneak peak of 'Elegance' which was one of the collections released in April/May. It's a gold, silver and turquoise colour theme of floral, pasiley and butterfly papers, complete with stamps, stickers, rubons and collectables (diecut shapes). The Kaisercraft crafters have come up with some very inventive projects and made some beautiful cards from the set, showing that they can be used for all sorts of occasions on greetings cards, as well as for scrapbooking and decorative items. The Kaisercraft blog is great for all sorts of ideas, and well worth checking out!

Sew Pretty

Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine's January Issue have some great ideas for crafting with these pretty haberdashery-style papers I designed for them. The set of five papers also comes with a matching sewing themed stamp set I worked on, and great ideas on how to use them inside...

Getting crafty!

For those of you who don't craft often, Christmas is the perfect opportunity to have a go. Everyone appreciates receiving handmade gifts and cards. Last weekend I met up with my family for a weekend of fun! I brought along my box of crafting goodies and a few old Christmas cards to recycle, and for my Nanna, Mum and sisters, I think this was an amazing effort! They created some great cards with clever ideas, take a look...
